If you want to use removable media you'll need two GPT-formatted removable storage devices, and said devices must have at least one partition. Here's an example fdisk session, showing how this might be accomplished:
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.31.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
Command (m for help): g
Created a new GPT disklabel (GUID: AAAAAAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAA).
Command (m for help): n
Partition number (1-128, default 1):
First sector (2048-15661022, default 2048):
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-15661022, default 15661022):
Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 7.5 GiB.
Command (m for help): w
You'll find the UUID of your partition in /dev/disk/by-partuuid/. You can find out which device is which typing ls -l /dev/disk/by-partuuid/ in your favourite shell.
